Hello,

I run both Linux Mandrake (Perl 5.8.6) and Windows XP (also Perl 5.8.6) and I get the same error (and crash) on both when using the perl debugger. But only when using the perl debugger. Otherwise it runs just fine.

I was trying to use the perl debugger to trace to an unrelated problem in a rather large program. After considerable shuffling I came up with the short script below that brings out the problem on both platforms.

If I can solve this, I can go back to using the debugger with my real program.
Thanks 
use Tk;
use Tk::ProgressBar;

my $percent_done = 0;
my $i = 0;

our $mw = MainWindow->new(-title => 'ProgressBar example');

my $progress = $mw->ProgressBar( -variable => \$percent_done )->pack(-
+fill => 'x');

$mw->Button(-text => 'Go!', -command=> sub {
   for ($i = 0; $i < 1000; $i++) { 
     $percent_done = $i/10;
     $mw->update;  # otherwise we don't see how far we are.
  }
 })->pack(-side => 'bottom');

$mw->Button(-text => 'Exit!', -command=> sub {$mw->destroy;}
           )->pack(-side => 'bottom');

MainLoop;
